Video of the Week - Hurts - 'Stay'


By now, it doesn't take a musical genius, or even someone of high intelligence to see that HURTS are not the most commercial act out there. In fact, they're probably so un-commercial right now, calling them any kind of 'act out there' would be nothing short of optimistic. Their first single 'Better Than Love' failed to get promoted and despite being their best single to date, underperformed at #50. Then, upon releasing 'Wonderful Life', whose protagonist was a pre-suicidal man, they gained more recognition, but still failed to make the Top 20, charting just outside, at #21.

Their latest single 'Stay' is set to top both of these, with features on many popular TV shows such as 'Hollyoaks' to promote it, and already over a million hits on Youtube.
